(2011-12-08)
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are characterized by disrupted social interactions, disordered language and communication, and restrictive interests and repetitive behaviors. Although not part of the main diagnostic ...
Increased Parent Reinforcement of Existing Mands in Children with Autism: Effects on Problem Behavior
(2010-12-06)
Previous studies of response classes in children and adults with developmental disabilities have shown that continuous reinforcement of mild problem behavior or precursor behavior (innocuous behaviors that reliably precede ...
